I have been taking Straterra for about a 1 1/2 years and feel it is the best thing ever in dealing with adult ADD.  Due to recent winter blues (SAD), I am considering taking SJW with Strattera.  Usually the winter blues don't hit me until mid January, but this year I have been under a particularly high stress. 

Does anyone have any experience in taking SJW with Straterra? (I'm wondering if it's safe.  I've heard warnings about mixing prescrips with herbs.)  I have never taken SJW before.  Thanks!

[QUOTE=Celeste]Katie Couric mentioned this on the Today Show (12/21/04) - I was also looking for information.   [/QUOTE]

I missed the Today show but I just referenced it:  Lilly adds warning to Strattera label.  Eli Lilly and Co. Friday said it added a warning to the label of its attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder medicine, advising patients with jaundice or a liver injury to stop taking the treatment.

So I gather that if one does not already suffer from one of these 2 conditions, it's safe. 

... just thought I'd pass this along. 

Did the FDA actually approve children's use of Straterra?

Thanks!

I would say if you want to add an anti-depressant to strattera, you should add Zoloft, which has the least interactions of all the SSRI's, and it's good for ADD because it modestly, but potently increases Dopamine.
